Threatening to? When was the last time you used Windows? Maybe you've forgotten just how much of a slug it is for gaming. Hell, just opening Steam can be a five minute ordeal depending on what Microsoft wants you to do first.

    yeah switching to Linux is likely a lot less work if you factor in the price of the hardware you need to run games windows 11 smoothly at your current pay per hour(or salary/hours worked)...

    Unless you "need" to play a game that uses "kernel level anti cheat"... then you're SoL... 😞

    If you count all the aggressive pop ups and prompts and notifications and other bullshit that you can't turn off any time you try to just use your own fucking computer... 10 minutes from power button to game launch. Linux? Less than 2.
